Zoodles with Meat Sauce

We have had some incredible, almost fall weather and it makes me want to eat fall comforty food. I bought some fall scents for my apartment, too and now I’m getting mad that it is still 90 degrees outside. This dish I have for you today is perfect for fall and perfect for a lighter dinner when it’s hot outside. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to buy a spiralizer because ZUCCHINI NOODLES ARE AMAZING. Like my favorite food to make. If I could just shed up little zucchini’s all day, I’d do it. I’m a simple woman and I enjoy the simple things in life, what can I say? Gluten free and healthy!! SO MUCH WINNING

Zucchini Noodles with Meat Sauce

Serves: 1Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes

What you need:

1/4 pound of breakfast sausage (or Italian sausage, or ground meat!)

2 tablespoons white cooking wine

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 large zucchini, spiralized or shredded

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 tablespoons shredded Italian cheese (I use a blend from the store)

Directions:

After you have prepared your zucchini, squeeze it in a paper towel or dish towel to remove the excess water

Brown the sausage in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Once it starts to brown on the outside, add the cooking wine

Continue cooking the sausage and wine until the sausage is cooked through.

Continue scraping the bottom of the pan getting all of the browned parts of the sausage off the pan

Add the tomato sauce, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning

Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes

Remove the meat sauce from the heat and add the olive oil and zucchini

Stir until the zucchini is warm and browned a little, about 2-3 minutes
